What's At Stake?Will Coke be next?The aggressive marketing of bottled water corporations like Coke, Nestle, and Pepsi is changing the way we all think about water and undermining confidence in our public water systems. Who will provide drinking water in the decades to come? The more water becomes a high-priced commodity, the more public water sources and universal access to water are threatened. This is putting access to safe water in jeopardy for millions around the world. The Facts: * Our public water is rigorously tested and monitored by independent authorities and public agencies. Not so with bottled water! Yet now we have an entire generation growing up thinking that the only place to get water is from a bottle. * But we are making changes. In addition to Pepsi’s agreeing to one of our demands, this summer we helped convince San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom to ban city spending on bottled water and we’re working with other cities to follow his lead.
